MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (4/12/13) – The annual dinner and silent auction fundraiser for the Muhlenberg High School Band is set for Saturday, April 27th at 6 pm. The catered event will be held in the Muhlenberg West Campus cafeteria.

Band booster president James Brewer says "it's a great night of fun, food, and, best of all, all the proceeds go to the kids in our band. Dinner will be at 6:30. We will be giving away door prizes. Then the silent auction will be held immediately following dinner. Area businesses have been great in giving us some fantastic items. From restaurants to oil changes...you name it. We'll take bids on various prize baskets, including a UK themed basket, a basket for fishermen, a gardening prize basket and more."

Brewer stressed that since the event is catered, the band boosters are attempting to sell as many advance tickets as possible.

"Because this is catered, we really need to try and get ticket sales wrapped up no later than April 19th. You must have a ticket to get in. Of course if people want to purchase tickets after the deadline we will, but it would be nice to know exactly how many people to expect." Brewer said.

For ticket information you can contact any member of the band boosters, stop by Brewer's dental office at 200 West Reservoir, or call (270) 754-3131, (270) 543-3305, or (270) 543-9183.
